"With God's help I can do it!"

Alan A. Aylwin

With what assurance the student of Christian Science can meet the varied problems of daily life! His religion teaches him that the capacities and abilities of his real being are unlimited, and in the degree that he applies his understanding of true identity he can cope with any challenge that human experience may place in his path. So he says, "With God's help I can do it!"

No lurking sense of inadequacy or self-depreciation can handicap him if he rules out a personal sense of mind and clearly sees his unity with God, the all-knowing, all-active, divine Mind. He can know that every idea and every attribute that exists in the infinite wholeness of God's being is his by reflection. As a drop of water individualizes the qualities of an entire ocean, so spiritual man specifically expresses every quality that abides in the allness of divine Mind.

Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, "Man is more than a material form with a mind inside, which must escape from its environments in order to be immortal."^{Science and Health, p. 258;} Further on she continues, "God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis."
